Reviews

What an amazing place to stay for an extended family gathering. Great location. amazing owners and the accommodation is not only spotless but also so well equipped. Highly recommended

Mrs D,

Lovely quiet location. We were a party of 14 adults and found the property well equipped and spacious. we didn't have occasion to use the outside space as we were at the Hen House in October. I like a firm bed but found the beds a little hard, they would benefit from a mattress topper.

Ms G,

Absolutely fabulous accommodation, clean well equipped and with 7 en suite bedrooms perfect for a large group. The outside space, BBQ and games equipment was amazing for enjoying outside on a summer evening. Would definitely return.

Mrs C,

Beautiful property in a lovely location, we had a super time, thank you!

Mrs W,

The Hen House was everything we knew we needed and even more! Hosts were lovely and friendly and were quick to respond to any queries. There was loads of space so we didn’t all feel like we were on top of each other. It was secure for the children to run around and not worry about where they were and also secure for our lab. In fact, he hardly stayed indoors as he loved chilling in the garden the whole time. A peaceful location and close to Beccles. We’d love to visit again!

Mrs F,

A beautifully presented, well equipped property in an idyllic location. A superb getaway for a special birthday weekend. Comfortable, clean and cosy, with wonderful, friendly and helpful owners.

Miss P,

Amazing accommodation in a beautiful setting. Fantastic to have all the family together (with pets) Five stars

Dr P,

Great property for a big family get-together in a beautiful part of the country.

Mrs B,

The accommodation was well equipped and very comfortable.As a large family group the 7 en-suite bedrooms offered flexibility for double or twin beds.There was enough crockery, cooking utensils and a washer dryer and dishwasher so this provided us with a good labour saving break. The children took advantage of the indoor and outdoor equipment and had a lot of fun spending time together. We loved the peace and quiet. Great holiday accommodation with everything you need for a relaxing break whatever your age.

Mrs L,

The Hen House was the perfect place for our large family gathering, all rooms ensuite and having both properties, ample food preparation and enjoyment spaces. The owners have thought of everything from cooking equipment, crockery, cutlery, there's even a slow cooker in each kitchen! Being on a working farm was brilliant for the kids with all the animals and there are plenty of outdoors play equipment provided. It is a 10 minute drive to Beccles or any local pub but that didn't bother us as we stayed at the property and enjoyed all the walks available on our doorstep. The tvs were a bit hit too with plenty of apps installed to enjoy movie nights. The WiFi was strong and available at all times and the instruction manuals provided everything you needed to know about the property and local area. Can't fault the owners, they are brilliant, what a place, highly recommend and we will be back!!

Miss Emily S,

Our return visit was just as good as our first. Spacious, clean and well equipped. Home from home standard of finishing touches. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Highly recommend.

Ms H,

An excellent venue to gather with friends or family. I highly recommend the Hen House.
